God has a plan for you. His plan for your life is the best plan to follow. In many modern cultures people are actively dating. They are trying to make their own plans without consulting with God and the Bible for advice. Often, the relationships that people pursue end in failure and heartbreak. The best way to be dating is to be courting. Courting means that you are seriously committed to one person and preparing for marriage. If you're a Christian, you should be seeking a relationship with another Christian. There cannot be happiness in a relationship if the people in the relationship have different goals and are going in different directions.
